Great Stroke: Ito Gets 5 Hits Tuesday, September 1st, 2026 On top of the Tuscaloosa hit parade today was Tetsunori Ito. He went to the plate 5 times and marched away with 5 hits, sparking the Trout Slayers to a 15-6 victory over the Portland Privateers. The sweet swinging shortstop told reporters, "Each time I went to the plate, I was thinking about hitting the ball hard somewhere. When I focus on that, I usually have quality at-bats." The skipper of the Privateers wailed to the press, "Too much plate. Not the way we planned it. Any hitter in the league will rip you when you do that." Tetsunori Ito singled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 6th and singled in the 8th. This season Ito has 7 home runs and a .275 batting average. |
